Spin Cycle Velocity

I slipped through the propped-open glass door of the laundromat and scampered straight past the giant rumbling washers! Right by a low bench sat an overturned bright orange plastic laundry basket. Its mesh sides had rows of open diamond cutouts just like a stadium observation tower! I scrambled up the plastic ridges and peeked straight through a round porthole window of a front-loading machine. Inside, a colorful swirl of towels was spinning at turbo speed! I braced my hands against the warm vibrating glass and started timing each rotation with loud claps. The rhythm rattled right through my sneakers—pure high-octane tumble power!
